Mystery solved

Eventually Fred and Albert join you in the guest room. "I don't get it," says Albert, "There should be something." He explains that the camera's hadn't picked up anything. Even the one in the guest room, though capturing the entire process of you going from plus sized to bed sized, showed no other person in the room or even around the window, confirmed by the ones filming the grounds.

Fred bring in the tape and puts it in the player, and you watch it. It shows you climbing into the bed, settling in, reaching for the remote, and pointing it at the TV. Then suddenly your form expands to fill the bed within moments, cloths and all before the bed breaks.

"Wait... play... that... again..."

You say through muffled cheeks wobbling slowly. Fred rewinds and plays it again. You look and see something.

"Stop..." you say, only the footage has plaid through by the time you say it. You reach for the remote, and Fred hands it to you. You rewind it a little, trying to retime your reaction to account for your delay, and stop just before the transformation happens. you then click the frame button. Fred has high quality cameras, which have many frames per second, so you click one by one as the image of you focuses on the TV. Then you stop as you see it.

"What's up with your eyes?" Says Albert, looking at the screen.

"There..." you say, delayed again. Your eyes look like there is a glow to them, something mystical. You click another frame ahead, and it's gone, the tv screen instead seems to have the same backglow. One more frame and it's your body that glows, before it bloats up. "Wow, that's... hmm, I want to try something. He goes into the bathroom for a moment and comes out. "That was amazing, you picked that out and it's like 1 in a thousand frames, you really are a wise wolf." he says. You slowly smile, before Albert holds up a hand mirror to your face.

"What... are you doing?" you say as your voice goes from slow to normal. "Wait, I'm not slow?" you look at yourself, moving once more at normal speed. Your sloth claws are gone, your familiar wolf fingers back, though you ware still the size of the bed.

"How did you do that?" Fred asks Albert, you quickly turns the mirror away so you can't see the surface. "I think it's some kind of mirror magic," he says, "When I changed into a Lion and Rick into a woman, we were in the gym with that huge mirror, then when he changed into a sloth, it was in front of a widow when it was getting dark, so he could see his reflection, then here, the TV."

"Then how did you change me back into a wolf?" you ask.

"I didn't, you did, I think that when you see a reflection of someone, they change into however you see that person at that moment."

You think, When Albert changed, you had thought he was king of the jungle gym, Rick changed when you were on the look out and expected to see Carla or another gypsy, you changed into a sloth when you were feeling slow on the walk home, and just now you changed when you thought about yourself as a huge blob.

"Ok, then show me my reflection so I can change back." you ask, and Albert hands you the mirror. You stare into it, trying to will yourself back to a normal body.

Nothing.

"Why isn't it working?" you ask.

"I'm not sure this is a conscious thing, it's why I didn't tell you my plan and complimented you first. I think it's your subconscious feelings." Says Albert.

"Then I wish you had called me a thin wolf instead of a wise one," you say disappointedly.

"Wait, I have an idea!" chimes in Fred, who has been thinking. He runs out of the room, returning with...
